Fundraising weekend!!

This weekend went great. It started off by climbing real hard Friday for about 3 hours and then relaxing to watch a new climbing movie which was the coolest movies I have seen. Saturday was a pretty fun day because I helped out with a fundraiser for a club that I am a part of. It helped raise money so that we can buy the things we need to help build a supermilage vehicle for Challenge Wisconsin. We raised over $500 to go towards parts for our vehicle. After we had dinner and everything we played a card game which i had won. Sunday I got to a a lifting program and then got to set a bunch of new routes at the YMCA during open climb and league. After climbing the team had a fundraiser at tazinos. We had quite a few people there to help support our team. I'm pretty happy with how many people showed up.  Monday i had school which had went by really fast. For the next two weeks i have three days of school due to Halloween weekend and finals coming up the week after. After school i had a core work out then worked climbing classes until 8pm. Starting next week i will be having a new weight training program. I'm excited for it because the one i am doing know its old and kinda boring cause I'm always doing the same thing each week. This past week i had won a petzl climbing helmet from a blog contests. I'm really excited because i will now have my own climbing helmet and wont need to borrow any ones. I cant wait until it gets here!!

busy but fun weekend

This weekend was alot of fun. Friday, when I got out of school I went up to adventure rock for Friday night Freak-out. While I was there I completed my second 5.10 at adventure rock.The route was alot of fun just got stuck in one spot. Since I had to go around this corner I had to heel hock the rock that my hand was on to reach the next hold. After that i had to lunge for a slopper that I stuck but the hold spun on me so I had to do it again and I stuck it again. This route was a brand new route that was just out up only a couple of hours before I there. When we were done bouldering we heading to the treadwall where I attemped a program that was a 5.13 and last a alittle more than a minute on it. Saturday was long but fun. We had open house at the local YMCA where 125+ people came through to the rock wall. Open house ran from 10am to 4pm and then we had a party after that till 5pm. Once everything was all done at the Y we heading out to a friends party. When we got home we started playing wii bowling for the next 3 hours which. Sunday was alot of fun. It started off with me doing a lifting program. Training was pretty cool because I did all my routes by lead climbing them. As of the moment there is not a route that i can not complete at the y. I have just completed all of them which is really cool because I can say "yeah I can do everything in here". Especially since couple of them are brand new routes that were put up this week.  All of the photos from this weekend are up on flickr. On October 23rd my climbing team is having a fundraiser. We would appericate if you came to help support us. The fundraiser is at Tazinos off of highway 50 in Kenosha, WI.

Taking it to the Max

This weekend was alot of fun!! Friday was a short day at school so I had time to finish a bunch of things. Friday night was open climb plus teen night, that gave me the chance to do a alot of technique drills. I also set a route at is really fun because you do a bunch of weird moves. Saturday I had to work till 1 pm then me and my coach headed up to Adventure Rock for a major lead climbing day. I was  having a good day climbing both sport and bouldering. Sport climbing I completed a 5.11 top rope and bouldering I finished a V4. I'm really happy with where I am at for both sport climbing and bouldering. After we were done bouldering we went to the treadwall where I finished a 5.11 program that was almost 200 feet tall.  Sunday was a fun but a training day. Did alot of laps and weighted climbing.  We also worked on power moves to help with overhangs while lead climbing. Worked on clipping my quickdraw off a bad hold for routes that there isnt a hold you would prefer to clip off of. This next week will be alot of fun because Friday night is Friday freak out at Adventure Rock till 11pm. October 21, is movie night at Adventure Rock till 10pm. I'm leaving around 3:30 so I can climbing really hard before the movie. All of the pictures and vidoes will be loaded in the next couple of days. You should check them out! It shows how the treadwall looks and how steep of a overhang was created on the treadwall. Check them out!

Devils Lake Trip

This weekend was alot of fun!!! Friday was teen night and I was playing acrade game till 10pm. I got to play DDR, snowboarding, and bmx. Saturday I got up at 4am to drive 3 hours to Devils Lake got there at 7 and got to set all the anchors for the ropes. We had all the ropes set up by 8am. We climbing for the next 8 hours. In those 8 hours I have taught how to do differnet types of anchoring. We had one rope set up on a 5.10 route that i did twice and another that was like a 5.8 that I didnt finish because of bees being on the route. I liked the 5.10 because it wasnt hard it was just a slow and control route. The first route was a mainly sloper rocks with no big holds in the route.You coudnt rush the route, which makes them more fun! Through-out the day I hiked more than 10 miles just for setting ropes and taking them down.We also got to climb and two differant areas on a tower which was new and a blast. Made very cool. Sunday is climbing league and training. Training on Sunday I did alot of technique and was on recovery from all the hiking the day before. After league I did my hangboard workout which I got through most of it. I also added photos from this weekend from to my flickr account. theres alot of cool stuff
